Alexander spent his life pursuing glory comparable to miracles, but he forgot that the people around him were only mortals. His quest was to conquer the entire known world, and the soldiers only wanted gold, women and home. This is probably the main reason that led to the final poisoning in Babylon.
The picture of the war is magnificent and powerful, especially the war against Darius the Great, which makes people's blood boil. The forest elephant battle is a bit tragic. The most glorious moment and the most vulnerable moment of a man's life should be on the battlefield.
The emotional line is also very prominent. The love of his life is another good brother who grew up with him and died. The sympathy between two men, who can doubt the purity and beauty of this kind of love. On the wedding night, Alexander told the barbarian queen that there are many forms of love. He just put on the ring from his lover, and in a blink of an eye, he was in the bridal chamber. The Greeks have really proven one thing, the wife is only used for reproduction, and the man is the true love. But it's really terrible for a woman to be jealous, she can't tolerate the woman around him, nor the man in his heart.
Talking about a person, if you don't start from the family of origin, you must not understand. The narrator keeps saying that Alexander's expeditions are just to avoid his mother, a crazy woman. His glory and dreams were actually just her wishes. Imagine a mother often tells her son that he is the son of Zeus. The son should be proud of his extraordinaryness or fear that he will eventually be too ordinary to be worthy of the title of son of Zeus. Alexander should have loved his father a little more. When he said he was going home, he saw the vision of his dead father instead of thinking of his living mother. The weird thing is that the woman he ended up marrying was very similar to his mother, even though he always wanted to leave his mother.
A very good war history film.
